Chapter-44

Dhruv's POV

I opened the door and I directly went towards her room.

I knocked but didn’t get any response. Then I opened the door and found her sleeping.

Strange.It's not the time for sleeping.

My eyes went to the room.It's not the same room I left her. It's full clean. But cold air is coming from somewhere. I looked around the room and found that the window is broken. And it feels like she tried to fix it. The whole room is cold.

Mainly it was also a normal room. But I never used  it. On other side of the room, the bags are placed. Obviously there was nothing in this room except old mattress and pillows. I saw her taking bed sheets and quilt from guest room.

But the question is, why is she sleeping so long? Even she didn’t wake up when I knocked the door.

"Rutba." I called her.

No response.

I called her several times but got no response.

This girl is making me tensed.

I went towards her and sat on my knees. Again I called her. No response.

Quilt is over her head. I removed the quilt and my heart clenched.

It's not the same Rutba I adored before.It's almost two months we got married. And this period, I didn’t get to see her properly. Her face is pale. Dark circles are around her eyes. Her lips are dry. This is not my Rutba.

Dhruv,control your emotions.

I held her shoulder to shake her but found her body warm. I touched her forehead and cheeks.They're also hot. She must be have fever.

I shook her shoulder.
"Rutba,wake up."

No response. Man,she is killing me now.

I patted her cheek and shook her again. Suddenly her forehead became furrowed and slowly she opened her eyes.There is something missing in her eyes. She blinked her eyes for twice and then tried to sit but winched.

I held her shoulder and make her lie again. She doesn’t making eyes contact.

"From when you're suffering from fever?"

She gulped and parted her dry lips.
"Y- yesterday. "

I closed my eyes to control myself.She is having fever from yesterday and I didn’t know. Even in fever, she made breakfast for me today.

I wish I could take her to other toom. But I can't show any affection to her. I can't even blame her for her sickness.The room is literally freezing.

My heart is aching, looking at her condition.I want to hug her tightly.

I took out my phone and called the doctor.I told him about her condition.He asked me if she had cough or not.

"Do you have cough?" I asked.

She nodded.

"From when? "

"Last W-Week."

Fuck!!!She is suffering from last week.

I told the doctor and he mailed me the prescription.

I didn’t want to show but I can't cruel now.
"You can shift to any guest room."

She shook her head and turned her face at other side.

Damn it.

"You'll freeze here. Just listen what I'm saying. " I said loudly.

"I'm freezing here from last two months. I get used with it. "

It stabbed in my heart.

I'm seeing how she get used with it. Obviously this room is the reason behind her condition. I should not feeling bad but I'm.

"You’re saying that you'll not go. "

"No."

I've nothing to do now.

Her body is also in pain she said when the doctor asked. I'm sure she can't even move.

I ordered the medicines. It'll come soon.

I looked at her. Her eyes are about to close.

"Sleep after taking the medicines.When you last eat something? "

"In t-the  morning. " saying that she tried to sit.

I want to scold her for not eating anything.

But again I made her lie.
"Where are you going? "

"I've to make the dinner."saying that again she tried to sit but winched.

I really can't understand her. What is she doing?At first she lied to me everytime. And then when I got to  know everything, she stopped interacting with me. And now when her condition is like this she is thinking about cooking for me. I'm sure I'll gone mad one day.

" stay here. I'll order take out."saying that I went out from the room.

~

Food and medicine came.

I placed the food on a plate and took the tray of food in her room.

What? I'm a human too.I can't see someone suffer in illness.

I went inside the room and placed the tray beside the mattress.

Again she slept.

I called her.
"Rutba."

She slowly opened her eyes.

"Eat the food and then take the medicines. "

I held her shoulder to make her sit but she jerked my hand from her shoulder. What was this for?I can't understand this.

Slowly she sat by her own.

Food and medicines are here. She will take by her own.

I stood and went out.And the moment I stepped outside, I heard a rushing sound from the room.

I went inside the room hurriedly and found her rushing to the washroom.

I went towards the washroom and found her vomiting in the commode.I went towards her And  held her hair.I rubbed her back.

She didn’t eat anything after the breakfast. Then why is she vomiting?

After she completed, she cleaned her mouth. She didn’t realise that I'm holding her.And when she realised, she came out from my hold and slowly went  out, touching  the wall.

I came out from the washroom and found her holding her nose.

"What happened? "

"Take the food from here."

"You've to eat for taking the medicines. "

"I can't. I feel nausea after smelling the food."

But the smell is not bad. May be because of her illness.

I took the tray.
"Do you feel any other thing to eat which you may not feel nausea?"

She gulped.
"Daal chawal."

I don't know which type of fascination this girl has with daal chawal. Most of the time, I found her eating daal chawal.
